Post Description

Recorded live at the Cologne Cathedral, this hour-long opus is a monument to electronic virtuosity and sheer endurance. ... Schulze weaves crystalline samples and brisk solos against an electronic background that shifts through textures and rhythms while never disrupting the generally grim overall mood. Though divided into three sections, which are chopped into tinier titled episodes, The Dome Event moves along more like a river than like a traditionally composed piece. Vocal samples, stirred into a cross-cultural stew along with simulated shakuhachi, tabla, guitar, and more abstract synth sounds, lead the way from the intro into a long string of improvised lines, free-meter percussion patterns, and drones. ... Brilliant sounds sparkle, then dim into the passing scenery. Though we seem to drift along the free flow of Schulze"s improvisation... ... By the time Schulze hits the last section, which he calls Finale: Tutti Synthi, a galloping accelerando is sweeping us toward a genuinely exciting finish. The Dome Event rewards those with the patience to be led through a vivid listening experience.
